Thankful Thursday March 9, 2017, Part 2 Golf cart tour of Charleston

Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.

Psalm 127:1 NIV

Greetings Sweet Friends,What cha' been up to lately??Hope it has been more than I have.........lolNot much going on here,have been exceptionally drainedthe last few days, and think it is the good ol' oak pollen as the treeshave just started shedding this week.it happens to me every year. My mind really wants to get the Spring things out but my body is not in agreement unfortunately!I always tend to forget about thiswonderful phenomenen each year,that knocks my socks off.....lolBut it has really been a good week tho, in spite of it, just nota lot accomplished since my last post.........oh well, there isalways next week.........Posting some more pictures from Charleston while on ourgolf cart tour....hope you enjoy!

So on with it.....

I am thankful

#1

that I did not have to throw out a

big pot of Beef Stroganoff that I

was making for hubbies birthday

celebration. When I got the sour

cream (one of the ingredients) out

of the fridge I accidentally dropped

it, and just thought it split the side

of the container, as there was a lil

bit on the floor, but when I put it

in the pot and was scraping it out

with a spatula I saw there was a

whole the side of a postage stamp

in the very bottom. So I dug thru

the sour cream in the pan and there

was nothing, so then I mixed it all

in and kept trying to find it but 0,

so then I thought of my gosh, that

plastic will melt into the food, so

told hubby and he came and helped

me and we took it out by big spoon-

fuls and checked a lil at a time and

we did the whole pot and we found

nothing. So I thought maybe it went

under the fridge, so I got down on

my hand and knees to look as I said

a lil prayer, and I happened to look

right at a small pile of sour cream

under the kitchen table across from

the fridge, and on top was the small

square of plastic.......What a relief!!

and quick answer to prayer....and

the Stroganoff was yummy!! lol

#2

for a great time with Scott, Megan

Brooklyn and Susan for Hubby and

lil darlings birthday celebration on

Sunday.

#3for a wonderful salad that we haven't had in quite awhile, made it for hubbiesbirthday, and will definitely be havingit again soon. It was from BH&G magazine some years back. Delish!!Click here to learn more.

#4

for some confetti poppers I just

happened on in Michael's crafts

and got for lil darling and hubby

to do on Sunday. Who would

think these lil things would turn

out to be so much fun. Once I

got home with them, I was think-

ing I should have gotten more as

I just know lil one is gonna want

to do it more than once. Well,

fortunately, it turns out that you

can refill them and do it again......

well we did them over and over and

over again, and had confetti all over

the living room and us, but we all

had such a fun time with them.......

big mess, took hubby a 20-30 mins.

to vacuum it up

but so worth all the fun!! lol

We will probably be finding confetti

for quite a while, just like the snow

we put on the Christmas tree....

#5

that hubby and lil darling seemed

to enjoy their celebration so much.

Always a nice feeling after you put

so much time, energy and work

into it all...............

#6

that hubby's social security card

was finally approved once again,

For some reason because of an

error in who ever put it in the

computer, I guess. They had my

hubby down as a non-citizen, he

went thru this when he signed up

for medicare and we thought it

was all straightened out, but he

had lost his SS card years back,

and decided to get another one

since I had to go there to sign

up for medicare, and so they

told him that day he would get

it in the mail in within 2 weeks,

only to call back the next day

wanting more info, so then he

had to go back last Friday and

it was still up in the air as to

if they were gonna approve it

or not. So they called first thing

Monday morning and said he

was approved, and that it had

been changed in the computer.Even tho, we feel led to persuelegal documentation to provehis citizenship just in case.Which is totally ridiculous...but you do what you gotta do.

#7

for all those who prayed for us

about a resolution to this situation.They are greatly appreciated.

#8that I got to see an old neighboryesterday who moved away, but not too far away and who happened to be driving by, as I went to the mail box. We had a nice long chat,and we plan to get together soon.She is a riot...........so it is alwaysfun to talk with her.

#9that a friend from church who had knee surgery about a monthago is doing better. Saw her theSunday before last and she wasso down (so unlike her) and she was not doing well with theraphy, but there was a marked differencethis Sunday....So happy to seethat as she is a delightful lady,and always so bubbly andencouraging! Course, we canall have those times in our life.

Same house, just a closer look inthe 2nd picture. For some reasonI just really liked this house, likedthe the brick and the way it saton the corner so nicely. Justvery stately looking.

#10for Land of Lakes spreadablebutter with olive oil and SeaSalt.......it is delicious. Loveit on toast or bagels. It isheart healthy and really wasnot sure I would like it, thinking it would taste likeOlive oil, but it has a greattaste, and only had threeingredients, sweet cream,olive oil and sea salt.Disclaimer:Just so you know I get NOkickbacks or money for sayingthat, it is just a great productthat we really like....

#11for many Good Nights of sleep latelyand that I woke up this morning!!

#12Last but definitely not least.....that I am a child of God, and that Hetakes good care of me, and that Heis always with me no matter whatis happening or where I go..........What a wonderful things to know!!

more gifted, more liked, or more spiritual, but don't be
jealous or intimidated, it is a huge waste of your time
